"Whew..." Oei's shake her head as she look around the forest. She can only sees the same greenery as far as she remember and Yang, a Servant that she had just met standing right in front of her.
"That' feels weird... What we were talking about again?" Oei sratchs the back of her head with a frown and one eyes closed as she talk to Yang again.
"You space out too? That's a relieve."
At Yang's comment, the fire spirits flying around her go wilder again. "Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll ask her again!"
"My attendants here wanted me to model for you, but I have no idea what they're talking about. Something about a fisherman..?"
"Oh?" A smirk came out of Oei's mouth before it become full-blown smile. Her hand meet in a claps as she got a chance to draw someone. "Oh geez, Usually I was the one that ask people if they want to be my model! And I see your attendants knows of my pop's shunga! Lets do it somewhere with water if we want to recreate the Tako to Ama! Or or! we could do it here! Hmmm...."
Oei start to look around and the squid that is floating to start grabbing some painting supplies.
"R-Really!? Wow.. being drawn by the great Hokusai is an honor I never thought I'd be given! My attendants are the biggest fans of you," Yang says. "Or your father, I suppose."
"But, doing it here, umm.."
Yang's eyes flash blue, and within seconds, the fires in the surrounding forest stop. "There. That's better."
<Lewd> <Lewd> <Lewd> <Lewd>
"What are you guys talking about? Don't be weird around my new friend."
"Oh~ neat tricks~" Both Oei and Hokusai already have their brush and painting tools ready on their hands as they look at Yang intently. "Still, you're pretty forward huh, asking to be a model of Shunga."
"Well then!" With a wave of her brush, a few watery portal shows itself under Yang Yuhuan. "Let's get started!" Oei started to let out a buddhish chant as the portal under Yang start to waver as if something is coming out to grab her.
You can magically summon a spectral tentacle that strikes at your foes. As a bonus action, you create a 10-foot-long tentacle at a point you can see within 60 feet of you. The tentacle lasts for 1 minute or until you use this feature to create another tentacle.
When you create the tentacle, you can make a melee spell attack against one creature within 10 feet of it. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 cold damage, and its speed is reduced by 10 feet until the start of your next turn. When you reach 10th level in this class, the damage increases to 2d8.
As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the tentacle up to 30 feet and repeat the attack.
You can summon the tentacle a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Yang put her arms behind her back, nervously waiting for Oei's instructions.
"Ah, that's cold," she exclaims, surprised by the sudden appearance of water at her feet. "Hm..?"
When she looks down, she sees a tentacle wrapping itself around her leg.
"Wah..! Oei-chan, there's something scary coming out of there! I-Is this part of it..?"
"Of course!" Oei exclaimed at the girl that is now starting to get wrapped by tentacles by her legs. "The painting involed tentacles after all! Now just stay still- actually laying down would be better so go do that!"
"In the water..?"
Yang looks down again, but the sensation of the tentacle tickles so much, she closes her eyes.
"But, but.. my clothes and hair will get wet.."
<Do it> <Dirty magazine> <Hokusai-sama> <Dirty magazine>
"What are you guys being so excited for..! You're the worst!" Tears build in the corners of her eyes.
Even though she's the one who brought it up in the first place, she can't go through with it after all. She really is a spoiled princess.
"Oei-chan, let's go somewhere warm please.."
"Eh? Isn't moving now is just a pain~ Just stay still for 3 hours and I might be done then~" Oei ignored Yang pleas, as she start to move her brush. The black lines that she had made now is starting to take shape. The octopus too would start to draw in a smaller canvas, but with its many hands it brush the canvas quickly and preciseOnce she is started painting, both Hokusai and Oei become too concentrated. It would be hard to disturb them or make them to stop.
"Three hours!? An imperial examination is only ten minutes long! No way I can do that, no way!"
And the way that tentacle is touching her is already way too lewd, and it hasn't even reached above her knees yet..!
<Uh oh> <Angry lychee> <Plot twist>
As the tentacle slowly creeps up Yang's body, Yang, Oei and her father are suddenly pulled somewhere else.(edited)
After a 5 minute ritual, you and up to ten willing targets shift to the Astral Plane. You gain the benefits of a short rest, and then return with no time having passed. Once per long rest.
"Youch!" Oei exclaimed as she fall down onto the floor. "What was that for..." She goes to stand up, finding herself near Yang and her pop's floating around.
Yang helps Oei up.
"I'm sorry. I guess I'm the one who did that," she says. "I don't really know where we are, but usually when I get lost like this, I just walk around and sing to myself, and then I find the right way!"
Leading Oei by the hand, she starts to wander around with no particular thought put into it.
"Hm hm hm~ Yuuyuu, yuu~"
Eventually, they reach a door embroidened with gold.
"There we are! It always works."
Inside is a luxurious room with a bed that could easily fit ten people on it.
"Welcome to my little home. It's just the rear palace, but I think you fit right in here."
She talks as happily as if any of the earlier commotion was long out of her mind.
"Thanks!" Oei grab the hand that Yang gave as she help her get up. "Maa~ its fine~ Me and Pops used to just wander around anyway."
As Yang decided to guide her by grabbing her hand and pull her, Oei look around and try to see if anything could be used to be drawn as inspirations. For now, she can't find any other than the woman that is holding her hand, but that just her likeness to beautiful things talking.It wasn't long until they reach a door with gold on it, that even Oei think feels a bit gaudy. "Oh? its your room?"
"I think you could say that. I have a lot of rooms, but this is one used by the entire harem. It's a little empty now, but one day, I'd like to fill it up with all kinds of beauties for my emperor," Yang says.
She closes the door and sits on the floor. "I'm sorry about earlier.. I didn't mean to interfere with your work. I was just scared I'd become a fish dessert."
"Oh? You want to make a harem full of beautiful woman?" Oei perked up at that. "Call me when you got one! I could use them for inspiration to draw."
Hearing her apology, Oei and Hokusai just wave their hand, or in the case of Hokusai, one of their tentacle. "Ma~ its fine~ I'm not really hurt anyway." As she said that, another brush and canvas came into her hands. "Anyway, lets continue!"
"Well, I already brought one here," Yang says with a bright smile.
At Oei's eagerness to continue, she quickly protests. "L-Let's just talk for a bit. Drawing must make you tired too, right?"
"Um, what about your father, Hokusai-sama? How come he looks so tiny and cute?"
"Too bad you can't use the painter as Model!" Both Hokusai and Oei snicker at that. How an octopus snickering is unknown and quite bizarre.
"Ma~ why are we talking when we could paint! Actually just stay still and I'll just paint you." She said as she goes to sit on the floor too and start drawing.It took a few seconds in silence after Yang asking question before Hokusai suddenly slap Oei with his tentacles. "Ouch! What is it pops! Don't distract me from pain- are? Question? Ahh..."
Oei then turn her head back to Yang with sheepish smile. "My bad~ as for why pops like this, dunno! Though pops prefer this form though cause he have more hands to paint now."
"I see. That must be nice." Yang can't help but think of him as a little pet.
"Taking someone you love with you wherever you go sounds like a dream come true. But maybe not as an octopus. No offense, Hokusai lao."
But talking like this is a bit awkward. A faint blush appears on Yang's cheeks. "We had a lot of poets at court, but I was never the subject of a painting. It's kind of embarrassing. I don't even know what I'm supposed to do."
"Me and Pops usually fight though, like yesterday when someone ate the last rice cakes!" Oei snide at the floating octopus that is her dad, who is waving at Yang with his tentacles as a gesture that he doesn't mind.
"Mnn? If its being a model its better to stand still, which is suck to most people." Oei shrug as she continue again to draw Yang.
"I get it. You want me to shut up."
Yang sinks backwards until she's lying down. "Then, staying still is easier when you're.."
She pushes the fabric of her skirt down with her hand, covering the gap between her legs.
"Like this?"
"Mnn, moving lips does making faces a bit hard." She's agreed on that as she continue moving the brush on the canvas. As she sees Yang start to get comfortable and take a pose, both Hokusai and Oei give her a thumb up and start to draw again.
Yang keeps lying like that, trying not to move. Being painted really is awkward. And it's pretty difficult, too. It'd be much easier if she falls asleep.
"Why did you start drawing, Oei?"
